- There's one in every Ayn Rand book, and he's the one making those long speeches.
...since that's a personal interpretation rather than authorial intent.
fleb: Sounds kind of objective to me. Shouldn't it be easy to prove or disprove whether all her books have a
Byronic Hero and if they always give the
Author Filibuster?
Moocow1452: How is Captain Hammer a Byronic Hero?
Battle Hamster: Agreed. He doesn't fit the description at all, so I took it out.
Zeppelin: It seems like this is drifting towards
Villain Protagonist, as people have seen fit to include Light Yagami and Lelouch Lamperouge, neither of which are Byronic heroes in the original sense.
Zack Morris-Brando: I agree. Byronic heroes are mostly neutral on the morality scale, and they definitely shouldn't be evil. I don't think Light was ever really acting for good (boredom and misanthropy, it seems). I'm not removing that entry until more people want it removed, though.
